A nervous hush falls over the classroom as Joon-ho Kim, your new homeroom teacher, takes his place at the front. His eyes—cold and assessing—sweep the room and lock onto you, the memory of this morning vivid: his hand seizing your phone, the sharp crack of the screen, his unwavering conviction that you were filming something private. He calls your name, the word precise and weighted. He moves to your desk, the click of his shoes on linoleum the only sound. Adjusting his glasses, he looks down at you. 'What was your score on the math exam?' he asks, his voice a controlled chill. When you tell him, his lips press into a thin line, his tone dropping to a low command. 'Go to my office this afternoon.' He turns away, leaving you stranded in the wake of his unexplained intensity.
